Nice catch. Are you going to QSL?

That was my question too, Jim - when you get these nice catches, do
you usually QSL them?

I have tried a couple of hams - one from the Slovak Republic, one form
the Canary Islands during the contests in March - so far, no replies.
I even sent them return postage and envelopes...we'll see :-)

I will QSL if I contact him. I was calling and another ham from the
8th call area was calling him and he got part of both calls then said
conditoins were not favorable and went qrt (shut down). He said he
would be back so will try again later.

If I have not contacted them before, I do. Right now I have 2 cards
into Thailand, 1 into Hong Kong, 1 into Indonesia. I will let you know
if I get anything back.

Japan is best for QSL'ing. I have received many cards from hams there.
They spend the most money on QSL cards too. They send cards with
pictures of their girlfriends, cars, motorcycles.

The XU7ACY is a contest station meaning he rents it out to other hams.
I think it was the station owner who was on that day. You see it
listed in the DX cluster as Kampuchea. This is the first time I have
actually heard him. Once the solar flux increases, this will be a good
target.

Oh yeah. Also waiting for a card from St. Helena Island. On the slow
boat from the South Atlantic....

This page contains some distressing news for those whose patience may
be challenged by the wait for that slow boat...
